@accidentsinspace Really? You can love them or hate them, but I'd say their sound is pretty distinct.

[@shit311]

the first word i said was "fuckyea danelectro!"

[@DanWhalen]

this is so compelling, after i heard this song i locked myself in my room with my guitar and pirated copies of acid and audiomulch for a weekend. i cant produce anything that doesnt sound like just a reject ringtone. hats off!

[@LeDoppelganger]

These two seriously need to step up their live show; the guitarist is too busy looking cool to play with some sense of precision and they rely waaay too much on pre-recorded material. It is great to capture the sound of the studio recordings when you successfully re-create them, but it clearly sounds a bit odd live. Check out live clips of Infinity Guitar andyou will hear how far they take it; at times it sounds like she is singing over full vocal tracks yanked from an ipod.

[@sittingcow]

They must have a shitload of Royalties. Between ripping off the Cure in this one, and Rill Rill sounding EXACTLY like one of my favorite Funkadelic songs, idk how they're gonna make any money off this album if they're gonna have to give it back to the artists with more longevity that they sampled.

[@scober69]

must get boring playing that one note over and over "hey I was thinking, maybe i could you know play a different note to fill the time between playing this one.. no? ok you're the boss baby doll" that's how shit would hit the floor

[@paladrood]

Look, people. You don't have to like it. I, for one, think Sleigh Bells is really awesome. This video isn't the best quality of audio, go listen to their CMJ performance and their album in full before you start throwing the words "fucking die" around.

[@redheadontheroad]

i like how youtube handles things. if youve posted a lot of comments in quick succession, they ask you to type in a code. underneath the box, it asks you, "Can't Read?" Nice. Even illiterates can get in on the action.

[@griffinjones8187]

@darsvedder No, he just took this song and rapped over it. That was the whole point of those two mixtapes. Its funny, cause two of my favorite tracks from I Am Just a Rapper are the ones where he raps over Sleigh Bells.

[@Daughters22]

sleigh bells is so fucking intoxcicating, this is some of the best shit i've heard and so unique, you just gotta love it, GET TREATS FOR SURE!!! this cd has some of the best beats ive heard...album of the year imo!

[@timocarder]

Alexis Krauss & Derek Miller totally kill! in a matter of minutes I have too fallen hard for this band. Thank you Derek for making something cool and new. but... I do still miss poison the well.. :(

[@Aster_Risk]

@SatyrVision Wow. These guys sure like to sample, don't they? The Cure is one of my favorite bands, and I didn't realize they borrowed anything from "Close to Me." I'm annoyed by that.

[@wouldchucks]

This band is a sick pleasure to listen to. This song in particular reminds me of the loud mysticism of My Bloody Valentine. They're coming around next month and I think I'm there....:)

[@IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

@redheadontheroad Too bad KZbin doesn't require people to take an IQ test before posting comments, imagine how much more pleasant the comment sections would be to read.

[@PhillipPerin]

I heard this band this morning at 10am on NPR. I have not stopped listening to everything I can get my hands on. I cannot wait to get home and put it on my computer.

[@TheDreamMechanic]

2:39 - 3:00 = I want one.

[@shit311]

ill buy their album l8er. its something i must buy and if i had a chance, i got to see them live. its gonna be my next mission in life. im not kidding

[@reidabook144]

god i love this band so fucking much. i love her fucking high waist pants! everything about them is perfect. please make music forever!!!!!!!!

[@MichaelMusic1]

she dances like elaine from seinfeld hahah love this song so much though

[@DIOronniejamesDIO]

So this is what Derek left PtW for? I guess he really was the "uplifting" one in the group. This song is mad fun, and very un-hxc

[@njphishphan]

@SuperGraceslick why would you even compare these two to the cure. Thats like comparing Deadmau5 and the Captain and Tenelle

[@trentigalaxy]

totally dope,utterly rad. too bad I can't bump it on any system I currently own. :p I guess I have to see it LIVE :D~(yeah!!)

[@not2L8t]

always good to hear ppl trying to do something fresh. But I still think Curve did this style straight up - they defined it.

[@JoeCoughlin]

I really like their sounds, but i'm pretty disappointed that the drums and shit aren't really there.

[@jimpanzer07]

use to hate em but they have grown on me, might have something to do with the singer - she is stunning!

[@ZVEXeffects]

Pretty awesome! Rock it. ZVEX

[@GadBoDag]

@LeDoppelganger Perhaps they are just super stoned! It is a musical tradition, after all.

[@dave4096]

I heard they're coming out with a new album: "75 minutes of alley cats screeching"

[@joesk84ever]

@typeanoise Maybe they could go to jail for doin' some dumb nonsense just like DMX.

[@gunnydogs]

agreed, heard em NPR last night driving home. Might have to hit scoot tomorrow night.

[@shit311]

sadly i have to create a u.s. account to buy their music. the itunes store sucks >(

[@Seanpyne]

@JokeSwag He's a just a rapper, he samples other bands. This is not his song.

[@shit311]

@boer0138 derek respects jimmy? im a big fan of danelectro so its intriguing

[@ChesterAsucka]

not a ripoff at all. dmx wishes he could be this.

[@k.rankovic]

@xXleaderofmenxX New Prince (Crown on the Ground) - Childish Gambino

[@mummibones]

no matter qhat level you have your volume at, the bass will still break:D

[@whatevarrr]

@Rmags well they are kinda limited by the fact that there's two of them.

[@wwotin]

so shonen knife finally broke in the usa. figures, 10 years later.

[@boer0138]

@shit311 No doubt. Best Use of a danelectro since Jimmy Page.

[@sl9guitar]

Its amazing what will pass for music these days. Horrible.

[@mastamullen]

[@fidobarks]
